AI. Automation. Zero Trust. They dominate every security strategy document. But there’s a truth sitting underneath all three: none of them work without deep, trustworthy visibility. You can’t continuously verify identities without knowing how they behave. You can’t train AI on incomplete data and expect accurate...

IT workloads can live almost anywhere now, but flexibility does not guarantee consistency. A service can look healthy where it runs and still fail where it’s used.

Security teams aren’t drowning because the threats improved. They’re drowning because the visibility got worse. The October 2025 commissioned Forrester Consulting study conducted on behalf of NETSCOUT surfaces a problem that every analyst already knows: 61% of survey respondents say their analysts spend more than ten...

Orphaned applications are a significant driver of shadow IT and a major headache for asset and identity management. We all know the drill: an account should have been deprovisioned years ago, but somehow fell through the cracks. Now, the application is just… sitting there, still running, still exchanging data. It’s...

Most security programs don’t fail because leaders make bad decisions. They fail because leaders make decisions without enough clarity. And clarity is exactly what modern environments have taken away. An October 2025 commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of NETSCOUT shows something every...

Everyone in IT has lived this scene: a sales team can’t pull up a customer record during a call, or a warehouse scanner suddenly stops syncing inventory, and before anyone checks to see what actually happened, someone proclaims, “The network is to blame. It must be down.” It’s a knee-jerk reaction, largely because...

An “AI winter” is not coming. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the loudest conversation in enterprise IT, but the real story is quieter. It starts with data and how it shapes the way AI learns, predicts, and acts in complex environments. A strong data foundation underpins the five key AI trends shaping the next wave of...

This blog describes the characteristics of 5G network slicing. Network slicing is the killer app of 5G and is expected to present revenue opportunities for communications service providers (CSPs), while allowing enterprises to optimize services for customers via multiple isolated virtual networks.

In less than the time it takes to pour yourself a cup of coffee, a cyberattack will occur. According to a recent academic study, cyberattacks happen roughly every 39 seconds globally. That adds up to an unrelenting barrage of security incursions. For enterprises and their security operations (SecOps) teams, this boils...
